Sun Damage and Age Spot Treatments

New Service! Sunspots form as a result of excess pigmentation due to too much ultra violet light, which obviously is of greater concern at the end of summer after long periods of sun-exposure. With that being said, it’s also important to note that sun damage can stay with you for more than ten years. The Getaway Spa recommends 1-2 sessions with our Alexandrite laser. This laser uses thermal energy to destroy the brown spot. You will feel heat with each pulse.

Post-treatment, the unwanted sun or brown spots will become darker in color and flake off over the course of a week.

Frequently Asked Questions

LASER HAIR REMOVAL

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is the process of removing unwanted hair by means of exposure to pulses of laser light that destroys the hair follicle. Laser hair removal is the only FDA approved method for permanent removal of unwanted hair.

Am I a good candidate for laser hair removal treatment?

At The Getaway Spa we will do a thorough evaluation to ensure you are a good candidate for laser hair removal. Different factors can play part in your treatment plan which we will take into account. Most importantly, determining your skin type, hair color and medical history to properly select the right laser technology which will give you the optimal result from each treatment. Please contact us for a complimentary consultation and evaluation today.

How many treatments will I need?

We offer our treatments in package of 6 sessions. Since our body's hair growth is dictated by a growth, transition and resting phase, we will perform treatments over 6 sessions to ensure every hair follicle is permanently treated and removed. You will see significant reductions following each treatment.

Is laser hair removal treatment safe?

Laser hair removal is absolutely safe and effective when performed by certified and trained medical professionals. At Prime Laser only trained nurses and certified laser hair removal technicians under physician supervision perform the treatments. This will ensure you receive a safe and effective treatment each and every time.

Is laser hair removal painful?

The short answer is NO. We use the newest and most advanced laser technology to treat our clients. These lasers are designed to make treatments comfortable while ensuring absolute best results. We offer a complimentary test treatment so you can feel what an actual treatment may feel and look like. Most clients describe the feeling like a mild snap of rubber band hitting the skin with a puff of cool air. 1 out of 10 clients will choose to use a numbing cream in the more sensitive areas such as underarms or bikini area; while 9 out of 10 clients do not need any numbing at all. Generally laser treatment is described much more comfortable than waxing.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Sun Damage and Age Spot Treatments

What is an alexandrite laser?

An Alexandrite laser is one that uses an Alexandrite crystal is used as the laser source or medium. The Alexandrite laser produces a specific wavelength of light in the infrared spectrum (755nm). It is considered a red light laser.

How does an alexandrite laser work?

The wavelength of high energy light emitted by the laser is converted to heat energy and this damages the specific target area. Thus Alexandrite lasers work by a process of photothermolysis: this means using light (photo) to heat (thermo) a selected area for destruction (lysis). Alexandrite lasers cause very precise tissue destruction of the lesion and leave tissue in the surrounding area undamaged.

VEIN THERAPY

How many laser treatments can I expect?

Vascular lesions may require multiple treatments. The treatment time depends on the form, size and location of the lesions as well the skin type. Small red vessels can usually be removed in only 1 to 3 sessions and are normally invisible directly after the treatment.

Several sessions may be necessary to remove bigger veins and spider veins.

Are there any side effects from alexandrite laser treatment?

Side effects from alexandrite laser treatment are usually minor and may include:

Pain during treatment (reduced by contact cooling and if necessary, topical anaesthetic)

Redness, swelling and itching immediately after the procedure that may last a few days after treatment.

Rarely, skin pigment may absorb too much light energy and blistering can occur. This settles by itself.

Changes in skin pigmentation. Sometimes the pigment cells (melanocytes) can be damaged leaving darker (hyperpigmentation) or paler (hypopigmentation) patches of skin. Generally, cosmetic lasers will work better on people with lighter than darker skin tones.

Bruising affects up to 10% of patients. It usually fades on its own.

Bacterial infection. Antibiotics may be prescribed to treat or to prevent wound infection.
